Congratulations to this month’s free Canteen winner, Thatcher Broyles! Thatcher will be having his Canteen choice, Cheerwine and a Fun dip, delivered straight to his door this week. Thatcher was a Shawnee last summer, and he will be moving up to the mighty Choctaw this year. He said his favorite thing about camp was Sock War, and his favorite staff member was his counselor Adam “Rambo” Smith! Thatcher is excited about coming back to camp this year to go on the Blob and for Horseback Skill!
So guys, remember to keep commenting on the blog. Every time you leave a comment your name goes into the drawing for a FREE CANTEEN! You could be the winner next month!
It’s Seth, I have been on the road for the past week in the Commonwealth State (that’s Virginia, come on). I was able to go to Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, and Liberty University to recruit some staff for this summer. We only want the best staff, so we travel all over to find them! I may have even seen one of your counselors. On my trip I got to see: Eli White, Ken Brown, Jason Browning, and Sam Pineda. They told me to tell all of you hello through the Blog! Next week I leave to go on an 11 day trip to Florida, I hope it is sunny and warm down there. I want to get away from all this cold and snow! I will let you guys know where I am going so if I am near you, leave a comment and maybe I’ll see you around!

2/9: Clemson, SC
2/10: Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL
2/11: UWF, Pensacola, FL

Congrats to Van Lucas! He is our January winner of a Free Canteen delivered to his door, straight from the Ridgecrest Canteen. Van, go ahead and tell me your order. I’ll make the hike to the canteen, through the snow, to pick up a drink and candy of your choice.
You too could win a Free Canteen! Simply make a comment on any blog post to enter. You can make as many comments as you like. Good luck and see you this summer!
Seth arrived at Camp Ridgecrest a week and a half ago. We’ve been excited about getting him on board as we prepare for the summer. You’ll hear more from him as the summer get’s closer!
So I am sure you all have read about the snow that has fallen here at camp over the last month, well it is STILL HERE! We went around and took some pictures of camp; fallen trees, deep snow, and the frozen lake! I am sure you have never seen camp like this before, don’t worry though, we will cut a hole in the ice for you to go swimming this summer, if it is still here!
Congratulations to Regan Pompeo, our newest winner of a Free Canteen delivered to his house! Regan, like many of you, commented on our blog last month, and his name was randomly drawn to be the winner! Regan, let us know your order from the Canteen, and we’ll mail it to you right away. For the rest of you, make sure you comment on the blog this month to be entered into the monthly drawing! You can comment and enter as many times as you like. We hope that you are as excited as we are for camp this summer. More news from camp soon….
So you’ve maybe seen some Blob Footage in the past, but not quite like this! Here is a little Camp Ridgecrest Blobbing in Slo-Mo… Enjoy! Which blob is your favorite? Comment below…
This past week, Ron, Phil and Sharon attended the Christian Camp and Conference Association’s National Conference in Colorado Springs, CO. We had the opportunity to attend seminars/sessions and also worship with other camping people. It was a fun and restful time! We thought it would be a good idea to give you an idea of what we got to do while we were out there. Take a look!
So, we spend a lot of time making sure that we only hire the very best staff around. Every summer, there are hundreds of applicants that don’t get the chance to serve with us. These men and women are very well trained and equipped to lead campers each summer. But just by looking at this short video, it’s obvious that they love their job and that they are bursting with creativity. Hope you enjoy!
We want to say Congrats toTrevor Boggess, an Apache, for winning the FREE CANTEEN this month. Trevor made a comment on our Camp Ridgecrest Blog, and was entered into a drawing for a free canteen. Ron and I are headed down to the canteen now to pick up the Cheerwine and Sour Punch Straws! Trevor, you should be looking in the mail for your Canteen to arrive within the next few days!
You too can win a FREE Canteen delivered to your door! Simply make a comment on ANY of our Blog Posts during the month of December! Your name will automatically be entered! We’ll announce this month’s winner in about a month…
